RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BAYSTYLE (7) is a classy two-year-old with a bright future. He finished second in the Durham Park Rising Star at this track two starts ago and was beaten just five metres by the exciting Comeandsee. Barrier seven and taking on older horses make this a tougher assignment, but he has the ability to measure up. SKIPPYS DELIGHT (4) has not won since 2024, but his recent performances have been better than they appear on paper. If he can settle in a favourable position, he is capable of returning to form. FICTION FILE (9) is a smart, well-bred filly who has competed at the highest level throughout her career. She should follow through into a suitable position and looks a genuine chance. BUILDTHEMANASTATUE (1) was an impressive third in the APG Final last start. He has the gate speed to make full use of the ace draw and should enjoy an ideal run on the fence. BACK: BAYSTYLE (7) – 2 units (win)
